  • Exercise and Prayer

    My wife is trying to quit vaping. She has gone several days so far. She is doing awesome and I am proud of her for making the commitment. She is also ornery and out of sorts. I asked to take a walk today and do half an hour of uninterrupted prayer. She has for obvious…

  • A Homeless Man’s Chorizo

    My homeless friend is visiting this afternoon. He brought a package of chorizo and I’m sharing some tortillas with him. He has a strong spirit if a bit weird. He thinks it’s The Spirit. I’m not so sure. We talk and he talks about trying to cast out his ex-wife’s demons but he is convinced…

  • Admiration

    What is something others do that sparks your admiration? I’ve said before here that I don’t like martyrdom. It’s easier to kill and die for one’s beliefs than it is to live for them and let others live for theirs. I admire when people can do the latter peacefully and articulately. I especially admire my…

  • Commissioned Artwork

    I made a little money on a special request for my art work. I spent about two hours on the designs and a bit on the Walgreens website ordering prints. Granted my mom is the patron. Still it’s awesome to sell art. Each piece has commercial value beyond the original work. Onwards and upwards.

  • Cartoons

    What’s your favorite cartoon? There is a version of Hans Christian Anderson’s Little Mermaid that came out in the 70s. It was made by a little studio called Star Maker. It remains my favorite cartoon. It was hard to find a copy because the rights got sold to a company called Discotek. It is a…

  • Less Sugar

    What could you do less of? I woke up about an hour ago and chose three things for breakfast: a bottle of carrot juice (so far so good), a left over chocolate chocolate chip pancake from International House of Pancakes (kind of a breakfast food I guess), and a Little Debbie’s Cosmic Brownie (delicious but…

  • Positive Events

    What positive events have taken place in your life over the past year? The most astounding thing that has happened to me this year is that I have received incontravertable revelations from the Holy Spirit (Animos). Joseph Smith remarked at one point, “I have seen a vision. I know it, God knows that I know…

  • Trenchcoat Dream

    I just woke up from a dream where I was wearing a trenchcoat and only my pajamas underneath. I didn’t even have shoes, but I did have my phone and my wallet. I had just been released from the hospital and was trying to walk home even though the night was a rainy one. At…

  • Sobriety Today

    I have been substance free for a little over two weeks if I do not count caffeine. I do not count caffeine. There are also my prescription psychiatric medications. But I haven’t had any alcohol or THC since two Mondays ago. That’s got to count for something.
